Operation

Before Operation

Safety

•
Use extension cords and receptacles as specified by
the manufacturer for all machines with electric-starting
motors.
•
Do not operate the machine without wearing adequate
winter garments. Avoid loose-fitting clothing that can get
caught in moving parts. Wear substantial, slip-resistant
footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
•
Always wear safety glasses or eye protection during
operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect your eyes from foreign objects that the machine
may throw.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where you will use the
machine and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires,
and other foreign objects.
•
If a shield, safety device, or decal is damaged, illegible, or
lost, repair or replace it before beginning operation. Also,
tighten any loose fasteners.
